Every party, gender, education, age and racial group supports legalization of marijuana except Republicans, who are opposed 62 - 33 percent, and voters over 65 years old, who are opposed 50 - 41 percent.

The Boston Globe reported a number of MA medical marijuana dispensaries went cash-only after a payment processing company cut ties with cannabis merchants, citing the Sessions announcement and Lelling's subsequent comments.

Legalization has also flourished at the state level. Douglas County keeps commercial marijuana away from their county's young people, while we legitimize it and make it more accessible to at-risk youth in low income communities like North Las Vegas. We have people here in East Tennessee who are now using this plant illegally.

For example, $3 million annually for five years will go to the Department of the California Highway Patrol for developing protocols to determine whether a motorist is impaired due to marijuana consumption.

A poll of NY voters released in late 2017 showed that 62% of New Yorkers support making marijuana use legal in NY for adults over 21, and more than 60% support taxing and regulating marijuana as a way to address the state's looming budget deficit. "If cannabis businesses were legalized tomorrow and taxed as normal businesses with a standard 35% tax rate, cannabis businesses would infuse the US economy with an additional $12.6 billion this year", Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, CEO of New Frontier Data, said in a statement, overlooking the recent drop in the corporate tax rate to 21 percent.
